Abstract:

Regenerative endodontic procedures have been used to treat infected immature permanent teeth in children and adolescents to achieve continued root development and dentin-pulp complex formation. Treating the infected teeth of adult patients with immature apices is challenging. Current treatments form physical barriers by apexification or apical barrier technique. Although teeth can be saved, they are devitalized and become susceptible to reinfections and fractures. With the development of tissue engineering and biomaterials, researchers have tried to save the immature permanent teeth of adults by regeneration. Here, the clinical efficacy of regenerative endodontic procedures is analyzed to explore whether they should be developed for dental pulp and/or dentin regeneration in adults with immature apices.

Key words: regenerative endodontic procedures, permanent teeth, immature apices, periapical periodontitis
